Only after they watched SCP-096 slaughter the Giant Wolf Warship did the viewers realize that, however much they had overestimated Containment Objects before, they had still underestimated their horror.

Their horror lay beyond the limits of imagination. How was anyone supposed to predict that?

They couldn't, all right!

While the viewers were still reeling from SCP-096's display, SCP-096 kept moving on-screen, letting out heartrending sobs...

...and accelerating toward Julang Star, on an arm of the River Styx Galaxy!

In Meleon Celestial City, Angel Nebula.

Holy Kesha had been lounging on her throne. But when she saw SCP-096 slaughter a million Julang Clan warriors in just ten seconds...

...without harming a single innocent in the process...

...she sprang from her throne under the other Angels' stunned gazes. Staring at the livestream, she muttered over and over, "Impossible!"

"This is absolutely impossible!"

"Nothing in the universe can exceed the speed of light! That's a law of the universe!"

"And yet SCP-096 can fly faster than light!"

"This..."

Ever since she had overthrown Heavenly Scum King Huaye's Heavenly Palace Order, Holy Kesha had spent ten thousand years presenting herself as...

...a cold, detached ruler, all to better protect the Angel Civilization.

But SCP-096's shocking display had shattered that composure.

She could hardly be blamed. Nothing this absurd had appeared since the birth of the Super God Universe.

At that moment, she was certain Doctor Bai Ting of the SCP Foundation had not lied.

She had not even exaggerated. She had merely stated the facts.

The SCP Foundation really could use Containment Objects and the Civilization Heavenly Principle Consciousness to slaughter a species. And judging by Bai Ting's tone...

...an attack like this was nothing special within the SCP Foundation.

A single base director could request one.

Once it was approved, the attack could begin.

What kind of organization was the SCP Foundation? It had revealed only the tip of the iceberg, yet its power already exceeded anything she could imagine.

Was it truly an organization native to Earth?

It was terrifying!

For the first time, Holy Kesha—the woman who, even when she was weak, had dared to lead the female Angels in armed rebellion against Heavenly Scum King Huaye—understood what terror meant.

What it meant to be small.

What it meant to gaze up at an unreachable peak!

On Liyang Star, inside Liyang Celestial Palace!

"Leina, when you go to Earth, you must follow the Code of Conduct!"

After seeing the livestream, Pan Zhen knew Bai Ting had not lied. Once the shock wore off, he warned Leina, "If you break those rules..."

"It won't be just you who suffers. All of Liyang Star will pay!"

"The SCP Foundation is terrifying!"

Pan Zhen made a rough assessment of SCP-096's power and understood that Liyang Star was no different from the Giant Wolf Civilization in the face of it.

Neither had the slightest ability to resist.

After all, to an elephant, there was no difference between a one-centimeter ant and a two-centimeter ant.

Both could be crushed without effort.

Leina was frightened too. Hearing Pan Zhen's warning, she asked in a small voice, "Uncle Pan, can I stay off Earth?"

"Liyang Celestial Palace seems pretty good to me right now."

"I'd be happy just watching the livestream from here."

Pan Zhen sighed. "No. You have to go."

"If we hadn't received permission, you could choose not to."

"But permission has already been granted."

"So you're going, whether you want to or not!"

He paused, then continued, "Besides, this is an opportunity. If Liyang Star becomes a civilization that establishes contact with the SCP Foundation..."

"We'll benefit enormously."

"Of course, once you reach Earth, don't go looking for the SCP Foundation on purpose."

"Just live your life as usual."

"If the SCP Foundation wants to contact you, it has ten thousand ways to do it. If it doesn't want to be found, it has ten thousand ways to make sure you never find it!"

"Understand?"

Leina nodded as though resigned to her fate, then went back to studying the Code of Conduct.

She was afraid she might fail to memorize it and do something on Earth that violated its rules.

She could not risk angering the SCP Foundation.

Aboard the Juxia, Ducao was completely numb.

After witnessing SCP-096's terrifying power, he thought, With an organization as unfathomable as the SCP Foundation on Earth...

...why would anyone need to worry about a Gluttonous invasion?

He had built the Super God Academy, recruited Super Soldiers, and forged alliances across the universe... only to discover it had all been pointless.

Perhaps, in the SCP Foundation's eyes, he was nothing but a clown.

I'm tired.

Whatever happens, happens.

From now on, I'm drinking tea and reading the paper.

As for an interstellar invasion... with the SCP Foundation around, he doubted any civilization in the Super God Universe would dare invade.

And the Super Soldiers he had spent thousands of years training?

He would hand them over to the SCP Foundation.

From now on, he was staying out of everything.

As Ducao decided to wash his hands of it all, the powerful figures from the various Indigenous Worlds in the livestream finally recovered from their shock...

...and began flooding the chat with comments.

[Kaido: That's terrifying! Compared to SCP-096, I'm nothing!]

[Child Emperor: It accelerated to a thousand times the speed of light. That's scientifically impossible!]

[Orochimaru: Of course it is. SCP-096 is a Containment Object. Scientific laws can't explain Containment Objects.]

[Black Zetsu: If I had SCP-096's power, I could rescue my mother.]

[Madara Uchiha: Black Zetsu, didn't you say you were born from my dark will? How could you have a mother? Tell me who you really are!]

[Hiruzen Sarutobi: Madara, wasn't it the First Hokage who killed you? How are you still alive?]

[Miko: I wish those Evil Spirits would look at SCP-096's face!]

[Monster King Orochi: The Giant Wolf Civilization is finished. I wonder if SCP-096 can wipe it out within twenty-four hours!]

[Giant Wolf Leader: Can someone save us? Whoever gets the SCP Foundation to stop the experiment can have every piece of technology the Giant Wolf Civilization possesses!]

[Drive Knight: Send it to me first! I'll send Doctor Bai Ting a private message for you.]

[Tatsumaki: Are you insane?]

[Drive Knight: Check your private messages!]

[Tatsumaki: Right! Giant Wolf Leader, send us the technology first. I'll message her too!]

[Tsunade: I may lose every bet I make and be famous as an easy mark, but even I can tell you're working together! That scam is painfully obvious.]

[Luffy: Oh! So they're trying to trick the Giant Wolf Leader!]

[Tatsumaki: ...]

[Tsunade: ...]

[Miko: ...]

[...]

While the Giant Wolf Leader, finally realizing his civilization was doomed, desperately begged anyone in the chat for help, SCP-096 accelerated toward...

...the River Styx Galaxy.

It used neither a Great Wormhole Bridge nor a Void Passage to reach the River Styx Galaxy. Instead, it chose the most primitive way to travel: running!

It just happened to run rather fast.

Under the viewers' stunned gazes, SCP-096's speed passed ten thousand times the speed of light almost in the blink of an eye.

And it kept climbing at a breathtaking rate!

A hundred thousand times light speed, a million, ten million... a trillion!

Ten trillion times the speed of light!

SCP-096's speed seemed to have no upper limit. Even though the viewers had braced themselves, watching it run at such an impossible speed...

...still left them dizzy.

They couldn't help it!

It was just too damn unbelievable.

The distance between the River Styx Galaxy and the Galaxy could be measured in hundreds of millions of light-years, but at SCP-173's incredible speed...

...even that gap visibly shrank.

On the livestream, SCP-096, the Shy Guy, became a blurred streak racing through space, its heartrending sobs echoing as it ran.

It was moving at an inconceivable speed!

The livestream had to add a small window showing a galaxy-scale view just so the viewers could follow SCP-096's path.

SCP-096 ran in a straight line.

And because it never dodged, even though space was emptier than most people imagined, SCP-096 inevitably...

...collided with celestial bodies that lay in its path.
